I know it's No Kings Day, and for that, I wish all American friends a safe, influential, and massive turnout!
But it's still #caturday, so here's a pic of what my brave Minnie cat "hunted" last night from the toy basket and deposited as offerings at the foot of the bed.
Be brave everyone!!

#caturday Not the happiest caturday ever, as we had to say goodbye this week to this fine fellow after 26 years. We still have two young ones to keep us company, but this regal old gentleman will be greatly missed. ❤️

Have a beautiful day, enjoy the gentle moments where you find them. They are what helps us through these callous times.

Here's my breakfast and dinner squirrel, on our deck in Nova Scotia. Had to put out bowls of water lately too, we're in a drought.

Recent developments. For some reason we only had two of six Monarch eggs hatch this time, usually all the ones we've found hatch into caterpillars.

The wee garden is full of little beings. I find creating habitats here in the middle of town, water dishes and small fountains for pollinators, birds, and the squirrel, and planting as much as I can cram into this space, keeps me focused on creation and potential and beauty. It helps in these times.

A respite from the posts I just shared about how creepy Peter Thiel is. It is beyond upsetting that these guys have so much power. More cats and dogs, please. #caturday

with my 16 year-old zen kitty. He's in his summer coat, recently shaved, more due to matting than the heat, but it seems to bring him to life.

Peony time. The blooms are just opening, I hope they don't get too much rain tomorrow or too much heat the day after, I don't want them exploding and done too soon. So lovely.

All the best for your birthday. Here's a cell phone photo, AI-free, of my neighbours rhododendron being visited by a large bee.

A very large bee enjoying the neighbour's rhododendron which overhangs the fence into our yard. I can't tell uploading this if the audio works but if it does turn up for his loud buzz!

The rhododendrons are in bloom at Pine Grove Park in Milton, NS. Some shrubs, like the azaleas, had already lost their blossoms, and others were yet to open. They are beautiful, huge, and old plants scattered through this woodland park by the Mersey River.

Another rainy weekend. Good for sleepy cats. I attempted a nap after a busy week, but my mind wouldn't shut off. The 16 yr old cat got shaved for summer as he mats easily now. The middle cat has started pacing the edge of the tub while I shower, howling at me, sometimes jumping in. #Caturday.

I struggle with the continuously horrible news, but sometimes I break away and get a doodle or small painting done, or some gardening. There is so much to feel hopeless about, but we must keep pointing towards what we DO want, what gives us joy, and make positive change where we can. Persist!
